Candy Chaser

About this board game

Candy Chaser is a bluffing game for 2–4 players that takes about 10 minutes to play. Each player smuggles illegal candy while trying to raise its price and keep its identity secret.

On your turn, the die helps elevate the price of your candy. A higher price can bring you closer to victory, but revealing what you are smuggling puts you at risk. If the other players find out your candy, you are arrested and removed from the game.

The game builds toward a decisive final moment. Play continues until one candy reaches the top price, triggering an accusation round in which every player gets to accuse one other player of the candy they are smuggling.

1. Roll the die to elevate the price of your candy.
2. Bluff and protect the identity of your illegal cargo.
3. Accuse another player when the top price is reached.
4. Stay out of jail to compete for the win.

Arrested players are out of the game, so a successful accusation can dramatically change who remains in contention. The winner is the remaining player with the highest-priced candy, making every increase in value both an opportunity and a potential danger.

With its quick play time and direct bluffing premise, Candy Chaser offers a compact contest of hidden candy, rising prices, and risky accusations. Released in 2013, it is designed for a small group of 2–4 players seeking a short game where identifying the right smuggler matters as much as increasing your own candy’s value.
